If you asked most people what forces led to today’s unprecedented income inequality and financial crashes, no one would say the Federal Reserve. For most of its history, the Fed has enjoyed the fawning adoration of the press. When the economy grew, it was credited to the Fed. When the economy imploded in 2008, the Fed got credit for rescuing us.

Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.

In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

Story
In the beginning was the loan, and the loan carried interest. For at least five millennia people have been borrowing and lending at interest. Yet as capitalism became established from the late Middle Ages onwards, denunciations of interest were tempered because interest was a necessary reward for lenders to part with their capital. And interest performs many other vital functions: it encourages people to save; enables them to place a value on precious assets, such as houses and all manner of financial securities; and allows us to price risk.

No one, from economists to bankers to politicians, has been able to quantify exactly how much of the world's assets are currently hidden - until now. Gabriel Zucman is the first economist to offer reliable insight into the actual extent of the world's money held in tax havens. And it's staggering. In The Hidden Wealth of Nations, Zucman offers an inventive and sophisticated approach to quantifying how big the problem is, how tax havens work and are organized, and how we can begin to approach a solution.

Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870-2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo.

Publisher's Summary
With the proliferation of financial instruments, new areas of instability, and innovative capital market strategies, many economists and investors have lost sight of the fundamentals of the financial system - its strengths as well as its weaknesses. A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold takes you back to the beginning and sorts out all the pieces.
Peter Bernstein skillfully addresses how and why commercial banks lend and invest, where money comes from, how it moves from hand to hand, and the critical role of interest rates. He explores the Federal Reserve System and the consequences of the Fed's actions on the overall economy. But this book is not just about the past. Bernstein's novel perspective on gold and the dollar is critical for today's decision makers, as he provides extensive views on the future of money, banking, and gold in the world economy. This illuminating story about the heart of our economic system is essential reading at a time when developments in finance are more important than ever.

Please don't waste your time
I am a huge Peter Bernstein fan, so don't take this review lightly. This book is one of the dullest, least informative and slowest books on monetary economics I have ever encountered. I recommend you stay away.
More than once while driving, I had to turn the book off to avoid falling asleep -- seriously (and my graduate work is in economics)

Good book but not suitable for audio audience
I thought the book was a good primer as Bernstein goes into a lot of detail and cites many examples to help understand the logics behind how money and banking work in the economy. However, for those not proficient in this field, most of what he says will need time to absorb... and there are quite a lot of numbers being used as examples too. I would rather recommend the actual book.

Fine snapshot of a moment in financial history
I enjoyed this. It probably requires a peculiar level of curiosity in central banking, the gold standard and their histories. It describes a time some decades ago, prior to Nixon's taking us off Bretton Woods/gold standard in '71. I see it as part of my quest to learn mechanics of central banking, along with other audibles such as the classic "Lombard Street" (1860's Britain), "The Bankers Who Broke the World" (WW1 through mid-1930s) and the fine "In Fed we Trust" (circa 2008). Moreover, there is little narrative story here, few characters, and a lot of description of nuts and bolts. If that doesn't interest you, this book might put you to sleep.

Do not the audio-version of this book
Any additional comments?
I did not read the book itself. But it is totally waste of time to listen to this audio version. It sometimes spends more than ten minutes talking about some common-sense things. Most of time, the discussion of a topic is so brief that you do not understand the rational behind it. After spending one hour listening to it, I asked myself, "what have I learned from it?" The answer is "nothing".

Economist on Wall Street is a collection of work from 1955 to 1970.

Bernstein was also concerned with developments in portfolio management, including the new influence of institutional investors and rules for optimal asset mixes.
